When an Earthquake Stopped Play: Cricket's Rare Tremor Interruptions

Few days back, the play on the third day of Ireland's second Test in Dacca, Bangladesh, was suddenly stopped, during the second ball of the 56th over of Ireland's first innings. Reason: A 5.7 magnitude earthquake in Dhaka around 10.38am local time. The impact of the earthquake was felt in Kolkata, several parts of West Bengal, and Assam’s Guwahati also, where the second India- South Africa Test was scheduled to play after a few days.
